Last night, we went to a prayer meeting with our friends. The kids had a great time paying hide and seek with some kids their ages and of course we got to meet some really nice people as well. Everyone knew we were there to help our friends pack for their move next week, so they were curious to know where we lived and how it was that Jon was able to take off work to help out.
We told them of Jon's ability to work anywhere there was Internet (which of course they found cool). Then we told them of the fact that we were living in a camper (which they found interesting from the perspective that we've been and will be able to see lots of the US traveling around). Then Jon mentioned Australia and the fact that we've been in limbo for the last year and then attitudes changed. Then they got sympathetic. It almost seemed like they were pitying us because we were in such a horrible position.
I admit, there are times when I wish our living situation was different (usually when the kids are fighting over a toy and I have no way of really separating them in the camper), but for the most part I've actually enjoyed living in the camper. I don't see our living situation as horrible at all. It truly has given us opportunities that others have not had. I think it's even brought the kids closer to their dad (kinda hard not to do when you are in such close quarters).
